I don’t need to be remembered I don’t care if I’m believed I’m not waiting in my cell to be condemned or be reprieved I was told I came out crooked so I walked a crooked line now the judgement may be final but it’s mine
I will live unforgiven I will rise among the brave and I won’t ask for permission to lie in my own grave I will fly and I will fall and I will live unforgiven
all the promises I’ve broken all the hearts I couldn’t hold all the truths I left unspoken just to keep away the cold now the wind is like a talon and my skin is raked with grace the grin I wear goes well beyond my face
I will live unforgiven I’m not hiding anymore and if I built my own prison I can damn well build a door I will howl and I will sigh and I will live unforgiven
there’s a poison I can’t swallow a regret I can’t allow our mistakes are never hollow anyhow I have made all my excuses now I have to make my way if you can’t take me that’s ok
I will live unforgiven I will make my world mine and I may not get to heaven but it won’t keep me from trying I will smile and I will storm and I will live
I will live unforgiven I will die among the brave and I won’t ask for permission to lie in my own grave I will fly and I will crawl and I will live I will try and I will fall and I will live unforgiven after all
